  1. On my patient's kardex which I was going to use for my nursing care plan it says he was admitted for hypernutremia, but I am not sure if hypernutremia is even a real diagnosis because most places...
  2. Is it hypernutremia or hypernatremia

    Ok good that is what I was thinking. Unfortunately I do not have access to that patient's chart so I can't check his sodium levels. The care plan isn't actually going to be used in the patient's care,...
  3. If I live in a state that allows NP's to work completely independently of physicians and choose to do home health can I... 1. Have some longterm home health clients whom I will be their primary care...
  4. Seems frustrating to me, but I guess that is what I'll do... I hope to move to Arizona where NPs can be primary care providers, and hopefully I can find a couple of physicians who would like to open...
  5. So what are some of the differences between what an NP who does home health would do and a NP who works as a primary care provider who does house calls would do? Could I do a little of
  6. What about private insurance for home health? It seems to me I would want to be able to accept as many different payment methods and insurance as
  7. That sounds ok because my heart is with the underserved anyway. I could still take medicare for my short term home health patients because with the short term patients I will be providing short term...
  8. So I guess being a NP does not count even if the state you live in allows Nps to work as primary care providers? Well that brings me to another question... Is there any way someone can do home health...
  9. I guess there is no way to avoid the boring medicare stuff... I still think I'll like home health though. I plan to build my client base by working as a primary care provider in an office with several...
  10. I think Home Health nursing may be the right speciality for me, but I'd like to get a few answers from some nurses who have been doing HH nursing for a while. What are some of the things a home health...
  11. A few questions about Home Health Nursing

    Thanks... that information all sounded very positive to me. I have already started reading some of the stuff in the home health forum and I've liked everything about home health so far. Even the...
  12. I'm in my second week of nursing school to become an RN, and I've had my first test. I'm doing well, but nursing is very difficult which causes me to wonder... How possible would it be for a RN to...
  13. Thanks... that was very
  14. Could a rural nurse practitioner with a large family take a month off work each year to go to India to help the poor (the parts nobody wants to go)? This doesn't count time taken off to visit family ....
  15. I hear nursing school is really hard, so I was wondering if I should only be a nursing major or if I should get a minor in something as well. If I do get a minor what should I minor in? Please don't...
  16. Should I get a minor or just be a nursing major?

    Ok, thanks. Aside from nursing I guess my academic interests would be horticulture (mainly the farming aspects of horticulture, not the landscapineg, etc aspects), and
  17. I've given it some thought and I'm sure being a rural NP is what I want to do. The way I see it is being a nurse comes first, having a farm is a side project, I don't need to be in any kind of rush to...
  18. From what I've read nursing is a very strenuous career, so I was wondering if it would be possible to own a 5-10 acre farm while working as a nurse practitioner. The crops you raise on the farm are...
  19. From what I've read it doesn't really matter what college you go to in order to become an RN as long as they have a high N-CLEX pass rate, but what about graduate degrees in nursing? My GPA is 3.650...
  20. I strongly doubt I'll go into academia... the closest thing to academia I could ever see myself doing is teaching at a rural nursing school that nobody else is willing to work at or something along...
  21. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Well, I'm a Sikh and my faith has influenced my decision to become a nurse as well as carry a gun. Both to protect others. I have no problem with doctors and nurses having guns as long as there is no...
  22. Most RN programs seem to require algebra one and two as well as geometry, but will I need to take additional math courses to become a
  23. what I DON'T LIKE about NURSING is...

    I'm not a nurse yet (pre-nursing) and from what I've read I think I'll love almost everything about being a nurse except that I wish there was a higher nursing degree than a DNP. I just wish I could...
